"Chairman, our New Era registration number has exceeded two million, and this number is still rising."

Tuesday, June 11, 2024.

Shenzhen City.

Penguin headquarters building.

In the chairman's office, Shen Cheng reported the data about the new era to Ma Teng, and his excitement was visible to the naked eye.

Because it has been a long time since he has achieved this kind of result in the game projects he has in hand.

Although to a large extent, this data is equivalent to being given to them by Huanxing Studio.

But that doesn't stop them from being happy about it.

After all, sometimes luck is also part of strength.

Similarly, after listening to the report, Ma Teng's heart finally fell, knowing that the company's game project had achieved great success.

New Era officially launched its global public beta during the Dragon Boat Festival, but the number of players exceeded two million in just over a day, which is indeed a very good result.

But soon Ma Teng seemed to suddenly think of something, and quickly asked: "What proportion are overseas players?"

Shen Cheng, who originally had a smile on his face, suddenly became startled when he heard this question.

There was a slight hint of embarrassment.

After a pause of maybe a few seconds, he spoke out a number.

"Nine percent."

New Era is a global open beta, but only 9% of the two million players are from overseas. This shows that the audience of the game in overseas markets is still not high.

But they know very well that Huanxing Studio’s games also have a very high audience overseas.

Based on this alone.

Penguin Games still cannot compare with Fantasy Star Studio.

Fortunately, Ma Teng's expression darkened for a moment when he heard this answer, but he soon returned to normal, as if he had vaguely expected it in his heart.

Then he responded calmly.

"Just a little less. It's good to be able to regain some share of the domestic game market."

The words just fell.

Then I became concerned about the situation of several other companies.

"The new games of NetOne and Miyou have also been launched for public testing. Have you investigated the number of their registered players?"

"Yes, Chairman."

Shen Chengcheng took over the conversation and replied directly: "They launched the public beta almost on the same day as us. Although we don't have detailed player online data yet, they are definitely far inferior to our new era."

After saying this, Shen Cheng seemed to have thought of something again and hurriedly added something.

"Right."

"According to information from Future Technology, their new personal terminal will be on sale next month, and Guanghui should also start public testing by then."

"Will this have an impact on our new era?"

Compared to Shen Cheng's worries, Ma Teng was relatively indifferent to this.

He doesn't think players will really buy new terminals for the game "Glory". After all, the screens are not as big as those of smartphones. I'm afraid it's more suitable to play mobile games.

As long as players don't fall into the embrace of glory, they can only play their new era at this stage.

Therefore, he believes that for a long period of time in the future, the number of New Era players will continue to increase.

When his thoughts reached this point, Ma Teng immediately stood up from his seat, walked up to Shen Cheng, patted his shoulder and answered the question confidently.

"Don't worry."

"Until now, Magic Star Studio has not announced the opening of other public beta devices, which shows that their glory will become a unique game for future technology quantum terminal devices."

"This way it won't affect us."

"The next thing you have to do is find ways to draw more players into the trap of the new era."

Shen Cheng was always asking too much, but after feeling the power coming from his shoulders, he suddenly had no doubts in his mind.

The whole person's passion was heightened.

The tone of the response was decisive.

"As the chairman, I will definitely take New Era to a higher level."

…

While the domestic game market is gradually showing a trend of multi-party competition, Future Technology and Huanxing Studio are very calm.

It seems like everything is under control.

There is no need to worry too much about short-term gains and losses.

that's all.

When the time comes to the end of the month, the holographic smart quantum terminal equipment has finally entered the preparatory stage before being launched.

For this reason, Jia Zhongjie specially came to Xu Lei's office to ask him about matters related to holding a new product launch conference.

Binjiang City.

Longhu High-tech Park.

Jia Zhongjie, who opened the door and walked in, held a paper document in his hand, walked straight to the desk and directly stated his intention.

"Mr. Xu."

"This is the planning document for the holographic smart terminal launch conference. Please read it."

Xu Lei reached out to take the document, but just glanced at it and put it directly on the table without any intention of checking it.

Then Jia Zhongjie rejected the proposal amid doubts.

"There is no need to hold a press conference. This time we will use a new method."

"New way?" Hearing this, Jia Zhongjie was a little curious.

Holding a press conference to introduce product performance to users before the company's new products go on sale is already a recognized process in the industry, and even Pingguo, which was once in high demand, is still not exempt from this practice.

Now that the company has done so much for this holographic smart terminal, it is at an important stage when it is about to be launched. It would be inappropriate to cancel the press conference rashly.

But Xu Lei obviously made his own decision.

After rejecting Jia Zhongjie's plan, he didn't show off and immediately started to explain.

"That's right."

"New way."

"Right now, users are not optimistic about our products. Instead of holding a new product launch conference, it is better to let users experience it themselves."

"Mr. Xu, you mean..."

Jia Zhongjie listened to Xu Lei's words and murmured thoughtfully.

"It's very simple."

"Since it is essentially an online live broadcast, we will cooperate with all the anchors on the Internet and select some anchors from major platforms around the world to mail holographic terminals to them."

"When the time comes, we will broadcast live together and let them use various methods to evaluate our holographic terminal."

Xu Lei knows very well that even if a new product launch conference is held, it will basically be online, so it is better to cooperate with anchors to further increase the popularity.

Jia Zhongjie is naturally a smart man, and when he heard this, he immediately understood what Xu Lei meant.

After the whole person suddenly realized it, he no longer bothered about the press conference, and even the planning document he had specially prepared was completely forgotten.

I was so excited that I immediately took over the matter.

"Mr. Xu."

"This method of yours is really great. I will immediately tell you to contact the anchors on all major platforms."

Finished.

Without waiting for Xu Lei's response, he turned around and walked outside.

Xu Lei saw Jia Zhongjie being so arrogant and looked at his back without getting angry. Instead, he couldn't help but feel a little expectation in his heart when he thought about what would happen.

In fact, under normal circumstances, most companies will not adopt this approach.

Even if the prototype is released in advance for bloggers to review, it will be paid for by the brand manufacturer, and the problem will definitely be deliberately weakened.

If a large number of anchors are really allowed to live-stream and evaluate at will, then this event will be uncontrollable, unlike the new product launch conference where the entire process has been determined long ago.

If something goes wrong during the evaluation process, it will definitely have a serious impact on sales.

The reason why Xu Lei dares to do this is because he is full of confidence in his own products and believes that when the holographic projection screen appears, all the viewers in the live broadcast room will be shocked.

I'm not in the mood to find fault at all.
